How to get data back?

[Brian Hart]

I had a Win 2000 C: drive crash. I replaced it and installed XP Pro.
The problem is that the secondary drive, the D: drive, which is a separate
physical drive, seems to have NO data on it now.
The D: drive came up OK once I installed XP, but there seems to be no data
on it.
Windows never asked me to import a foreign disk and the only choice I have
in Disk Management is to "Convert to Dynamic disk". No Security Tab either.

Any suggestions?

if it's larger than 120 Gig you need to alter the registry to read it.
do a search on enable LBA within xp

Look over the above link, the testdisk app helped me to restore my slave
drives MBR, the included photorec app also recovered a reformatted &
partitioned drives data for me too..
May depend on how computer savvy you are.. Did I mention it's free.. (GPL)

In XP Home, you will need to need to boot to safe mode and
then take ownership of the drive.
